Chapter 176: The Cannon Fodder Sister Who Was Married Instead in Ancient Chinese Literature 56
The midwife Wang beside him seemed to have remembered it too, and quickly responded, "My lord, I remember now, that little maid also had a big black mole at this location on her hand. Because it was unusual, I have some impression of it."
Yun Xi watched coldly. Even if her identity could be proved, it would only mean that she had served Jiang's mother. How could she prove that this matter had anything to do with her?
Slowly, her eyes became a little flustered, staring at the words written by the disfigured woman.
The crooked handwriting did not affect everyone's ability to see that they were clearly the words "Dingquan", "Yao" and "Zhongyi".
As soon as these few words came out, Yunxi's face turned pale.
She rushed forward, snatched the paper on the ground and tore it to pieces.
"Bitch? Now you're starting to bite me randomly?" She said through gritted teeth.
After tearing the paper, she started pushing the disfigured woman again. The woman retreated in fear, then looked at Jiang's father with fear and shook her head desperately.
Father Jiang glanced around and someone immediately stepped forward to separate the two.
"Go check it out!"
Yunxi's heart sank. She knew she was in trouble today and could only pray in her heart that Ding Quan's affairs would not be discovered.
In this way, even if she is suspected, her daughter is about to marry into the Marquis's Mansion. With the Marquis's Mansion around, Jiang's father should not dare to do anything to her.
Yunxi waited with lingering fear, feeling flustered and confused as to the outcome.
She suddenly thought of something and turned her head to look at Banxia in the distance. Banxia quickly and slowly retreated.
Jiang Yueshu looked at Yunxi's horrified expression and sneered in her heart.
Yun Xi was such a vicious person. If the people she sent had not arrived in time, the disfigured woman named Zi Ling would probably have died.
If she died, Yunxi's crimes would probably be more difficult to uncover.
The atmosphere in the front hall was depressing and no one dared to speak until the guards who went to investigate arrived.
Yunxi's heart instantly rose, and she looked over quickly.
There were about ten people in the group, including Yun Qingping and Old Lady Yun, which made her a little confused for a moment.
Father Jiang was also a little stunned, then he reacted and let everyone in.
"Sir, I have checked. Ding Quan did buy things at Baicaotang twice. Once, my wife bought blood-activating medicine for the birth of the second young lady, and once, he bought drugs for the aphrodisiac not long ago."
After Song San finished speaking, a man dressed as a doctor stepped forward.
"Sir, I am the shopkeeper of Baicaotang. All the sales of medicinal herbs are recorded."
The man handed over a booklet, which clearly recorded the name, quantity and date of the medicinal materials.
After Jiang's father finished looking, another painter came forward.
The shopkeeper of Baicaotang described the face of the man who bought medicine in his memory, and the painter made continuous revisions based on the shopkeeper's description.
After the finished product came out, the two paintings were put together for comparison.
Although he is not very similar to Ding Quan, he is at least 50% similar.
Yunxi watched nervously, thinking about how to put all the blame on Ding Quan.
At this time, several more people came forward to report. They were maids and servants in the Yun Mansion.
They are all very familiar with Ding Quan and may be aware of his whereabouts.
"Sir, Ding Quan has been serving in the courtyard of Miss Yun San since he was young. Later, after Miss Yun San married into the Marquis's Mansion, Ding Quan was transferred to the courtyard of Old Madam Yun."
"Sir, I once drank with Ding Quan. When I was drunk, I mentioned a few things, saying that the person I liked was going to marry someone else..."
"grown ups......"
"..."
"My Lord, I have seen Ding Quan have a purse that is particularly valuable. I have seen him staring at the purse several times."
Several servants came forward one after another and told what they knew.
Even the shopkeeper and waiter of Fuxianglou were invited. They had seen Yunxi and Ding Quan entering the same private room before, and the time was just before Ding Quan went to Baicaotang.
Together with the words of the doormen at the Yun and Jiang residences, every sentence almost completely outlined the entire incident to everyone.
The more Yunxi listened, the more desperate she became. For the first time, she felt hatred towards this man who had been silently helping her.
He obviously liked her so much, but now he had given her so many handles.
Yun Qingping spoke only after everyone had finished speaking.
"Brother Jiang, the incident at the mansion that day was all caused by Ding Quan. He bit his tongue and committed suicide."
A glimmer of light suddenly flashed across Yun Xi's dim eyes, but disappeared the next second when he saw what was in Yun Qingping's hand.
"This was found on him."
It was a light blue purse that was a bit worn, with a lotus embroidered on its surface. It seemed that it had been rubbed too many times, and the stitches and threads on the surface were a bit fuzzy.
Father Jiang took the purse, turned it over and looked at it carefully. It took him a while to see a very small word "Xi" on the inside of the purse.
He showed it directly to Yunxi.
"Explain! Why is your purse with Ding Quan?"
Yunxi's eyes were red, and she didn't even have time to cover them up. The purse around her waist had already been noticed by everyone.
Hanging around her waist was a water blue purse. The pattern on it was exactly the same as the one in Yun Qingping's hand. Even the stitching and embroidery methods were extremely similar. Apart from being newer, there was almost no other difference.
For a moment, everyone's eyes were filled with suspicion and ridicule, and Yun Qingping took a few breaths of cold air.
When he searched for this purse before, he did not realize the meaning of the word "Xi", he just thought that the person he loved had this word in his name.
He didn't think about Yun Xi at all. After all, he was just a servant, how could he dare to secretly hide the private things of the young lady of the mansion.
At the beginning, Yunxi would rather marry the Prime Minister despite her age, so it is even more impossible for her to take the initiative to give money to a servant.
Yun Qingping never expected that this purse really belonged to Yun Xi. He was a little shocked and began to doubt the mastermind behind the last drug use. His eyes turned cold.
Yunxi looked at the people in front of her in despair. No matter what, she could not plead guilty.
"My Lord, I don't know. Maybe the purse fell and was picked up by someone else!"
"Prime Minister, Brother, I really didn't do these things. I was the first one to discover that my sister was bleeding during childbirth. If it was really me, why would I call the doctor? If you don't believe me, ask the midwife if I was the first one to speak!" Yun Xi grabbed Wang and said, "Tell them now, tell them now!"
Wang was so frightened that her body trembled. She didn't know what to say and struggled desperately.
"And that so-called maid, her face is so unrecognizable that someone must be trying to frame me on purpose."
Everyone was silent, and all looked at her solemnly.
Seeing that no one believed him, Yun Xi had to change the subject.
"You don't believe me? Well, it's better to die. I can go down and accompany my sister." Yun Xi's lips curled up into a relieved smile.
Everyone at the scene was shocked again, and was somewhat confused by Yunxi's words.
"Prime Minister, do you still remember what my sister said before she died?" She looked at Father Jiang with tears in her eyes again.
Father Jiang recalled and slowly frowned.
Yun Xi said word by word in a serious tone: "My sister asked me to take good care of Shushu for her and watch her find a good man. Do you remember, Lord?"
After saying this, Yunxi looked at Jiang's father nervously. She was gambling on the weight of her sister's last words in Jiang's heart.
Although she was jealous of her sister, she had to admit that the man in front of her had her in his eyes and heart.
"That's enough! Yunxi, if your sister were still alive and knew what you did, she would definitely not forgive you! Now that there are witnesses and evidence, you should stop pretending!" Father Jiang ruthlessly broke Yunxi's fantasy.
Yun Xi's face froze, and he even walked towards Jiang Yueshu, "Shushu, tell your father quickly that your aunt didn't harm your mother! Tell him, Shushu, you know how much your aunt loves you."
"Aunt." Jiang Yueshu smiled lightly and helped Yunxi up, making Yunxi's uneasy heart no longer so nervous.
She thought to herself that it was right to maintain a good relationship with Jiang Yueshu. Now she was actually begging for mercy for the murderer of her mother.
Thinking about this, Yun Xi even wanted to laugh and mock this idiot.
The next second, she was pushed to the ground by a huge force.
